Altair OptiStruct Revolutionizes Lattice Structures for 3D Printing

Altair recently announced new solver capabilities for OptiStruct that extend its topology and sizing optimization technology to support the design and optimization of parts manufactured by additive manufacturing, or 3D printing.

A unique capability of 3D printing lies in its ability to manufacture hollow shapes with complex internal geometry using repetitive cells of varying density known as lattice structures. OptiStruct now extends topology and sizing optimization to assist in the efficient blending of solid-lattice structures with smooth transitional material volume. This new technology satisfies an unmet need, since no tools previously existed for lattice structure design with optimal and structurally efficient material distribution.

In this 45-minute complimentary webinar you will learn more about optimization technology for lattice structures from the voice of Altair’s optimization leaders. OptiStruct’s two-phase lattice optimization process will be explained and real models will be shown to illustrate possible applications of the technology.
